Animal Crossing Wii Gets EU Date

Previously sporting the suffix City Folk, the newly monikered Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City is scheduled to release across Europe in December, meaning it comes soon after the US release of November 16 – a small delay in light of the two-year wait that European gamers had to endure for the GameCube version.
